The Amber Palace, around 12 km from Jaipur, is among the most famous hilltop
forts in India. The 16th century fort built by Raja Man Singh is a perfect
blend of Hindu and Muslim architecture.

An
elephant ride to the top of this fort is one of the most popular activities in
Jaipur .This is the chance to ride an elephant up to the Amber Fort like the royalty
of Rajasthan once did. In
Amber fort about 100 elephants were used to ride to the historic fort.Mount the animal from a raised
platform and sit comfortably in a specially designed, secure seat as the
majestic animal winds its way up the ramparts of the fort. The elephant is a
gentle creature and the mahout (a person who drives the elephant) uses
an ankush (a sharp hook used to guide a tamed elephant by prodding it on
the back of its head) to guide the animal up the ramparts. The animals look
beautiful as the mahouts decorate them, especially the trunk, with
floral and geometric patterns using colored chalk and powders. Once guests
reach the top, will enter the PALACE through the grand Singh Pol (Lion
Gate) gateway and continue to Jaleb Chowk, the courtyard where you will
disembark from the pachyderm

Kindly note that
Dep’t of Archeology fixed the timing of Elephant Ride With the summer
regulations for the use of elephants coming into force, limiting the number of
rides and timing,

According to the summer regulations an elephant could be used
form 0700 Hrs till 10.00 Hrs & Evening 1530 to 1700 Hrs from 1
APRIL 2014 to 30 APRIL 2014 and will allow ONLY 03 ROUND PER ELEPHANT
& from 01 MAY 2014 TO 30 JUNE 2014 ONLY 02 ROUNDS WILL BE ALLOWED
& 01 JULY 2014 TO 30 SEPT 2014 only 03 ROUND WILL BE ALLOWED and
during the winter from 01 Oct 2014 to 31 March 2015 - 05 rounds
will be allowed.

This was decided
after elaborate discussions with various government departments as using the
elephants in the scorching sun is harmful to the health of the jumbos. Please
note there is a maximum of two passengers allowed on an elephant at one time.
Elephant ride is not permitted downhill. Furthermore, the elephant ride is
subject to availability. The elephant ride service will be provided on a first
come, first served basis. It has been happening very often that despite
spending hours in queue for elephant ride tourists are deprived of same as the
official allotted number of rotation per elephant gets exhausted. The elephant
ride at Amer fort can’t be guaranteed due to this fact. We requests
& suggests you that please inform all the guests with option
Elephant Ride failing Jeep Ride to avoid any unpleasant
situation with guests and also any legal compensation of failure to provide
committed services etc. Kindly note that elephant ride cannot be guaranteed
under any circumstances.

Kindly note
that during the Navratra Festival Elephant ride at Amber fort will be NOT
available due to Heavy rush of devotees visiting at Shaila Mata Temple at Amber

Owner: Renowned for its spectacular architecture and aesthetic beauty,
the Taj Mahal is also a symbol of enduring love, built by Shah Jehan to house
the grave of his beloved wife, Queen Mumtaz Mahal, who died following the birth
of their 14th child.

“Mughal architecture
at its best.”

There can be no doubt in any one’s mind after seeing Taj
Mahal at Agra, that it is the most beautiful building ever constructed. This is
architecture at its absolute best. The calligraphy, carvings and designs are
exquisite.
We were lucky to have azure sky with almost no cloud and no haze at all. The
place does tend to be quite crowded, but take your time to soak in the beauty
of the place.

“breath taking
& Magnificent building ”

I didn’t expect the Taj Mahal to be a highlight of a
recent trip to India, it was. It is well worth seeing. I didn’t enjoy the
"tour" inside; it was far more beautiful to walk around the outside
and simple look at this magnificent building.

“Awesome - “What can I say?”

Taj Mahal is definitely deserving to be called a 'wonder'.
It’s a Worth place to visit. After
seeing pictures of this monument for my whole life, I was still unprepared to
experience it's beauty first-hand. Yes, there were a lot of people there, but
the building and outbuildings are stunning.

When you visit Taj Mahal, it is not same what you see in
the photos or videos. It is a once in a life time experience which you surely
would like to experience again. No camera can capture the real beauty of Taj
Mahal neither can words describe the feeling what you will have when it is in
front of your eyes.

I paid 750Rps to visit this wonder of the world and it is
worth it. So breathtaking to admire its beauty and its surroundings. I had a
sunset view. What a view, what an experience, takes your breath away.
The history surrounding it, is so sad but beautiful So peaceful, well kept,
easy to get around
Not to be missed if you see nothing else you need to see this.
Taj Mahal is definitely worth seeing once. I don't believe it could be
duplicated today. It is truly an architectural marvel and will not disappoint.
The line to enter can look long, but they are quite efficient at moving it
along.

Tip 01: If a
helpful gentleman offers to show you "best" spot for a photo, he is
not just being friendly and helpful! He is expecting a tip. So, if this makes
you uncomfortable, politely decline the offer.

Tip 02: Good
quality camera is a must

Tip 03: Go
early if possible to avoid the hot part of the day, and of course don't forget
it will be closed on Fridays.

Tip 04: After
the tour is over, the guide will pressure you to go to the tourist type of
souvenir shop that he benefits from. Maybe you want to do some shopping, but if
you don't - you will have to be very firm.

Travelling by train to Katra, the base camp to the Vaishno Devi shrine, is set to become a reality by June when railways expects to complete the work on this stretch of the ambitious Kashmir rail link project.The opening of the 25-km Udhampur-Katra section could see a good number of trains running up to the town, saving passengers the bother of undertaking journey by road from Jammu to the shrine which sees an annual flow of about 10 million people.

"We hope to complete work on the section by May following which there would be inspection by commissioner of railway safety before it is commissioned," said CAO of Udhampur- Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link Project B D Garg.The route passes through inhospitable terrain making it an extremely challenging engineering project.

Talking about one of the tunnels on the section, a portion of which gave in, leading to delays, he said the problem has been sorted out as "we abandon that portion and create a detour". Ballast-free track is being laid before winding up the work. The 292-km-Udhampur-Katra-Quazikund-Baramulla rail link is vital for the Kashmir Valley as it aims at boosting the economic prosperity of the region by facilitating transportation. Plans are afoot to electrify the entire stretch later on.

At present, passenger trains ply between Jammu and Udhampur and between Qazigund and Baramulla. The commissioning of the Udhampur-Katra section is expected to bring in more pilgrims to the Vaishno Devi shrine from across the country. Keeping this in mind, the vast expanse of Katra station has been provided with pilgrim guide tourist assistance, cloak room, waiting hall, VIP lounge, escalators and lifts besides parking space on the either side of the station. Talks are on with Vaishnodevi Shrine Board to have a counter at the station itself.

"While the facilities at the station are one of the best in the country, the three platforms itself can accommodate 26 coach trains," Garg said. The first floor has been provided with plush accommodation facilities matching star hotels with cafeteria by IRCTC. Garg noted the construction of the station has given a spurt to the local economy and hospitality sector as a number of hotels have sprung up in close vicinity along with other commercial establishments.
